Gagner had little to no value, especially given his contract. they got a guy with some size who is a decent option in their top9, without holding onto any of the gagner salary.

Ah, ya... that makes more sense. I'm not a huge Eberle fan, but he is clearly a better "top line" forward that Purcell.
Still think this is a "crap for poo" trade though. Purcell will not solve any problems for the Coilers, and it is mildly amusing to me that what some Coiler fans perceived as a major trade chip is now gone, and it is clear to anyone with eyes and/or a brain that he had negative value thanks to a horrendous contract from MacT (his first contract I believe).
